A while ago, the church had a ministry fair of sorts. Some of the ministries were represented by tables of information and sign up sheets. I restrained myself from the youth ministry and religious education section because I knew the commitment would be more than I can give at this time. I came across the ministry that provides meals and receptions for those attending funerals. I thought that would be a good match at this point. I cook a lot now, so I might as well share it. I chatted with the people at the table and signed up on the clipboard. I did not hear anything back and wondered if I ever would. Honestly I forgot about it – until today. I got a phone call to see if I can help prepare a small reception for a funeral on Friday. I said I could and got the details. I very much look forward to my first volunteer opportunity at the parish.

I Found God today in an invitation to serve.
